This assay is based on a large-scale corpus of tweets in English in the Twitter discussion with the hashtag #jesuisCharlie. It was run sequentially with mixed methods: language technology method, quantitative analysis of modality, and digital discourse analysis of the opinions voiced in the tweets. The data included multiple themes that were organized into five clusters. One of the clusters was more modalized than others. All of the clusters include terms of affectivity and solidarity, but they also included varied and polarized opinions.
